1. Very sad. Fires spread quickly. Everyone should have a plan!

Everyone should have a set plan to evacuate a house/apartment in case a fire starts. Buy fire extinguishers (they are hard to find in israel), but don't rely on them if the fire is too big.
2. There needs to be hurricane glass covers for menoras which
Rivkah   (12.19.17)
have no top and some have no top or bottom but are tall glass objects that go around candles to protect the flame from breezes and curious children/pets/breezes. Oh, how sad for this family. I just don't understand some tragedies. A Pastor said youth Pastors kept dying in accidents from his congregation. He asked haShem why He was taking the youth Pastors. HaShem answered that He needed them to throw coals from the heavenly altar onto the congregation to sanctify and bring to faith more people. The youth Pastors who died were still with them in the spirit realm but they could not see them.
3. Sad

4. Shows clearly, the Imaginary Friend doesn't give a hoot

whether you play with fire because you're dumb or you're "celebrating" him...
Pay you must.
5. WHY don't people paint flammable parts of homes outside and
Rivkah   (12.19.17)
inside with NO BURN PAINT (clear) and a top coat???? WHY? WHY? WHY? How many homes and buildings have to burn down before people get a clue that wood and some other building materials are FLAMMABLE?? This fire reminds me of a fire of a home in St. John's, Arizona, with five children inside and the father in the yard who raced into the house to rescue the children from the fire that started from something the children did, only to perish with all of them. One child was spared, a sixth child, who was sick and stayed in Tucson with her mother.
